The Mexican American Chamber of Commerce was founded in 1972 to address California’s changing population, its economy and the impact each had on the local Hispanic community. It focused on educational and economic opportunities in California and the United States. The Chamber worked tirelessly to:

Promote business, industry, commerce and culture within the Sacramento community for all minority groups

Increase better understanding between Spanish-speaking businesses and the community

Encourage the full development of resources in Sacramento as a city and county, as well as the surrounding regions, enhancing the welfare of the local economic community

In 1985, the Mexican American Chamber became the Sacramento Hispanic Chamber of Commerce to reflect the growing population of a diverse Mexican/Latino community. The SHCC has grown to a membership of over 600 members, and we are still committed to the goals set forth 45 years ago.

The past success and the future of the SHCC are directly related to the commitment and dedication of past and current Chamber members, volunteers and our past and current Board of Directors.
